Bruce stressed that point this morning. The hotel does have reservations already on the books for this weekend, but he's opening up all the rooms that are available. Once the guests check out on Sunday those extra rooms will be added.

We have the ability to help a lot of people, so we will.

Any resident who is seeking shelter during this tough time is welcome to reach out to the hotel directly (866-50-OCEAN) Staff will look at the guest's ID at check in to confirm that he or she is from an area displaced by Hurricane Florence. Please share this info with friends and family who need help!
